Thug's attacker loses appeal bid

A BUSINESSMAN jailed for attacking a masked intruder after his family were threatened by knife-wielding thugs in their home has lost a bid to challenge his conviction.

The Court of Appeal in London rejected an application for leave to appeal by Munir Hussain, 53, of High Wycombe, who was jailed for 30 months in December.

They also dismissed the same application by his brother Tokeer Hussain, 35, who was sentenced to 39 months.

Both men have now appealed to have their sentences reduced, and a judgment will be made tomorrow
